Lexus ES350 Touch Up Paint (30 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Lexus didn't just give the ES350 a paint job; they gave it a luxury wardrobe. With 30 recorded colors, the selection ranges from the boardroom-ready Black Onyx to the "I spend my weekends at the vineyard" Sienna Brown Pearl. They really went for it with experimental shades like Deep Peridot Metallic and Moonshell Metallic-because why drive a silver car when you can drive one that looks like it was forged from gemstones and seashells?

What to Watch For

The ES350 is built like a vault, but its finish is surprisingly delicate. Lexus uses a "Self-Restoring" clear coat designed to "heal" tiny swirl marks with heat, but that also means the paint is quite soft. You'll likely find tiny white "peck" marks on the hood or trunk shelf from everyday life. If you have a pearl finish like Starfire Pearl Tricoat or Matador Red, these require a bit more patience to get right because of their multi-layer depth. To start, pop open your driver's door and look for a sticker on the jamb; your code is a three-digit sequence (like 077 or 212) located right after the "C/TR" label.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many ES350 colors are packed with pearls and metallic flakes, your biggest enemy is "settling." Before you touch the car, shake your touch-up bottle or pen for at least 60 seconds-longer than you think you need-to wake up those sparkles. When you apply the paint, don't try to fill the chip in one go. Think of it like a professional manicure: two or three paper-thin layers will look much better than one big "glop" that sticks out like a sore thumb. If you're working with a Tricoat (like White Crystal Pearl), apply your base color first, let it dry, and then add the "pearl" layer to bring back that Lexus glow.
